Team Dynamics & Workstyle: At HomeQ, we believe in the power of collaboration and autonomy by using the Shape-Up methodology. Our teams are small, self-sufficient units comprising a backend engineer, a frontend engineer, and a product designer.

It's a place where your creativity can flourish and your solutions can transform the way people find homes and landlords find people.
